L9[05:31:59] <Death> finally picked up KSP and man my brain is not built for hjklni
L10[05:35:38] <Althego> only used for docking
L11[05:35:50] <Althego> but that is hard already
L12[05:36:06] <Althego> remember dockign is so hard nasa failed the first time
L13[05:38:07] <Death> only used for docking and even then there's docking mode.
L14[05:38:47] <Althego> i never understood what the reason for docking mode was
L15[05:38:51] <Althego> never used it
L16[05:39:58] <Death> functionally, it makes wasd<shift><ctrl> be hjklni, i think?
L17[05:42:25] <Death> which also means i'm less likely to accidentally <shift> myself into the other craft.
L18[06:42:51] <Death> on my 10th or so attempt at orbital flight (in career mode) and the new biggest annoyance is that "space" isn't "go faster". i've now lost 3 orbital candidates at apoapsis because i hit space instead of z
L19[07:19:03] <FLHerne> Death: oops
L20[07:19:30] <FLHerne> I've definitely done that before, but not for a while
L21[07:19:56] <Death> good news! i got into orbit.
L22[07:20:08] <FLHerne> congratulations
L23[07:20:08] <Death> bad news! i stayed in orbit.
L24[07:20:31] <FLHerne> lol, time for Jeb to get out and push
L25[07:20:44] <Althego> hehe
L26[07:20:46] <FLHerne> (believe it or not that can actually work)
L27[07:20:55] <Althego> yes, you can actually push it back into the atmosphere
L28[07:20:59] <Althego> a bit hard to do
L29[07:21:09] <Death> that's?? what's he pushing off of?
L30[07:21:11] <Death> newton, help?
L31[07:21:20] <Althego> but every time you go back into the cabin, the suit rcs system is refilled for free
L32[07:21:27] <Death> oo
L33[07:21:37] <FLHerne> Death: mysteriously infinite jetpack propellant
L34[07:21:39] <Death> was gonna say, no amount of monopropellant in the world could do that
L35[07:21:50] <Death> but also... i didn't have astronauts leveled up yet.
L36[07:21:54] <Death> was saving up to get maneuvers
L37[07:21:55] <Althego> heh
L38[07:22:03] <Althego> they are fine up there
L39[07:22:09] <Althego> you can get them later
L40[07:22:26] <Death> i ended up restarting. doesn't hurt to get practice in.
L41[07:22:40] <Death> (but... i'm not practicing matching orbits again. that can wait.)

L46[08:44:12] <Mat2ch> I managed to have KSA run yesterday. Looks great, feels great, but needs a lot of polishing
L47[08:46:26] <Althego> it is very early access
L48[08:47:13] <Mat2ch> Oh yes
L49[08:47:30] <Mat2ch> And my gpu was screaming because of the load :D
L50[08:50:37] <Death> honestly my impatience for KSA to be a lot more polished is what got me to just go for KSP
L51[08:57:02] <Mat2ch> KSP is fine if you want to fly around in small crafts.
L52[08:57:28] <Mat2ch> It will annoy you if you go for huge stations or crafts to go around the Kerbol system
L53[09:15:11] <Death> ya i got space engineers for that, i just really wanted something that felt like "lower tech" space travel, orbital science, etc.
L54[10:27:02] <FLHerne> yeah, KSP is still a great game
L55[10:27:07] <FLHerne> are you 1 or 2?
L56[10:28:37] <FLHerne> .mission
L57[10:28:37] <LunchBot> You invent and deploy a virally-distributed antihypoxiant that will make Kerbals almost impossible to kill. You watch powerlessly as Danny2462 destroys Kerbin again.
L58[10:29:00] <FLHerne> 'almost'
L59[10:29:08] <Althego> hehe
L60[10:29:16] <Althego> almost, aside from danny
L61[10:32:13] <Death> ksp 1
L62[10:32:41] <Death> i misstaged my stage2 again :(
L63[10:33:21] <Mat2ch> you can lock stages
L64[10:33:23] <Death> this time was a bad build, not pilot error
L65[10:33:26] <Mat2ch> so the space doesn't work
L66[10:33:38] <Death> i thought i had split up radials from stage 2
L67[10:33:47] <Death> i had not, i suppose.
L68[10:35:32] <Mat2ch> Death: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ayu0GsrvKQA your song now ;)
L69[10:35:39] <Mat2ch> Dang, 8 years ago
L70[10:35:51] <Mat2ch> I have heard it once or twice, but still remember it
L71[10:36:43] <FLHerne> I always found it funny when some staging blunder caused my SRBs to fire off into the distance like missiles
L72[10:37:18] <FLHerne> easily done with how minor craft edits can mess up the staging order
L73[10:37:39] <Death> yeah i added an extra fuel and for some reason that did it
L74[10:39:21] <Death> damn. i got into orbit. forgot my drogues. should be fine. i hope.
L75[10:39:36] <Death> i'll just go broadside in atmo to burn speed lmao
L76[10:39:38] <Mat2ch> drogues are a gimmick mostly.
L77[10:40:00] <Mat2ch> if you have a regular capsule it will generate so much drag you will only need the regular parachutes
L78[10:43:20] <Death> y'know, i thought i was going overkill with heat shield for low orbit
L79[10:43:40] <Death> but i was heavy enough w/ only one parachute (and the +2 capsule, which is why i was worried) that it actually broke the shield
L80[10:43:49] <Death> BUT didn't break the cabin
L81[10:43:59] <Althego> drogues are great on duna, because they open early
L82[10:44:52] <Althego> also in unlucky cases they can still help you, i usually clip one tiny drogue under the normal one
L83[10:45:40] <Althego> on normal 100% heating, heat shield is not too useful for low kerbin orbit. because of that i normally dial up heating to the max, 120%, then it becomes useful
L84[10:46:26] <Mat2ch> Even from Mun I hardly use any heat shield.
L85[10:46:43] <Mat2ch> But most of the time I have some spare fuel and do a short breaking manouver as well
L86[10:49:14] <Death> yeah i felt like braking maneuvers felt like overkill coming from Mun. i had a lot of fuel extra, i could actually end up in a low orbit around... kerbal earth
L87[10:49:25] <Death> kerbin. that's the name.
L88[10:49:48] <Althego> you always need a bit of extra fuel anyway for piloting error
L89[10:50:57] <Death> yeah but enough to go from Mun to Kerbin orbit seemed like a bit much
L90[10:50:58] <FLHerne> .outcome add Declaring "Never Again!" you establish a comprehensive multi-level regulatory framework to prevent a repeat. It never happens again, but nor does anything else.
L91[10:50:58] <LunchBot> Added outcome: Declaring "Never Again!" you establish a comprehensive multi-level regulatory framework to prevent a repeat. It never happens again, but nor does anything else.
L92[10:51:03] <Death> but it got me back, so. /shrug
L93[10:52:10] <Death> I guess I should start throwing up satellites tomorrow.
L94[10:52:35] <FLHerne> Mat2ch: I missed out on this but was glad of it later https://www.flherne.uk/files/Chas_Emma_Mike_mersey.mp4
L95[10:56:01] <Mat2ch> FLHerne: That doesn't look safe at all!
L96[10:56:19] <Mat2ch> I remember Davids video about crossing some delta and even that didn't feel right.
L97[10:56:49] <Mat2ch> I've been on boats on the sea before, but all of them were built very differently to a narrow boat
L98[11:09:05] <FLHerne> .outcome add You'd have asked someone to hold your beer, but you're in microgravity so it just floats there.
L99[11:09:05] <LunchBot> Added outcome: You'd have asked someone to hold your beer, but you're in microgravity so it just floats there.
L100[11:09:43] <FLHerne> Mat2ch: yeah, narrowboat hulls aren't really the right shape for waves
L101[11:10:35] <FLHerne> they tend to be very stable (too stable, really) until there's enough swell for the baseplate to come out of the water, and then they slam up and down horribly
L102[11:11:04] <Mat2ch> that video looked like slamming up and down horribly
L103[11:11:18] <Mat2ch> they should've waited for better conditions before trying that
L104[11:11:47] <FLHerne> agreed on both counts
L105[11:12:07] <FLHerne> Emma is coming back the other way this morning and it should be smoother
L106[11:12:16] <FLHerne> hm, actually she should be at sea now
L107[11:14:11] <Mat2ch> no AIS? ;)
L108[11:14:31] <FLHerne> it wouldn't get much use on a narrowboat
L109[11:14:49] <Mat2ch> I know :)
L110[11:14:51] <FLHerne> the only inland boats I know have it are the Casper River barges
L111[11:15:05] <FLHerne> which are basically narrowboats but scaled up 3x in each dimension
L112[11:15:41] <Mat2ch> probably using the service to keep track of the boats
L113[11:15:51] <Mat2ch> it's commercial, I guess

L116[11:17:01] <FLHerne> yes, and occasionally they work down to Hull or Grimsby where it's required
L117[11:17:24] <FLHerne> hm, might be required for large craft on the lower Trent even
L118[11:19:22] <Mat2ch> if I remember correctly you can get AIS senders as small as handheld radios
L119[11:19:45] <Mat2ch> might be something to consider when crossing a large body of water
L120[11:27:04] <Mat2ch> well, the smallest thing for this is not handheld and expensive. Wow
L121[11:27:12] <Mat2ch> ok, it's marine tech. Everything is expensive there
